The LaTeX companion

Abstract

From the Publisher: LATEX is an accessible and effective tool for typesetting written documents. Users at all levels of experience, however, sometimes require help not readily available: techniques for defining new commands, styles for producing tables or graphics, explanations for changing fonts. This book, The LATEX Companion, is packed with information needed to use LATEX even more productively. It is a true companion to Leslie Lamport's original user's guide, also published by Addison-Wesley, and indeed, it is a valuable complement to any LATEX introduction. It is designed to enhance, not to replace, your basic documentation. Coinciding with the publication of The LATEX Companion is the availability of a revised LATEX standard- LATEX 2. This new release incorporates important LATEX developments over the past several years and provides a common basis for all LATEX enhancements. Some new styles, improve font handling, and a facility to produce PostScript graphics are included in the release. As part of the broad and unique coverage of this book, you will find complete documentation for all these added features. HIGHLIGHTS Covers all versions of LATEX now in use, including LATEX 2. Describes over 150 convenient styles for floats, graphics, tables, and much more Shows how to define new commands and environments Explains the use of PostScript Covers the latest extensions and programs for producing pictures, indexes,bibliographies, and advanced mathematics Includes techniques for multi-language support Describes the New Font Selection Scheme
